The lumps and bumps of cellulite are normal and common, but that doesn’t mean you have to deal with them. If you’re bothered by your own cellulite and want to avoid surgery, consider Cellfina® treatment.
At Best Impression Medical Spa and Laser Center, our expert physicians, Robert Mirabile, MD, and Vivian Hsu, MD, specialize in this nonsurgical cellulite treatment to bring you satisfying results that last for years.
Here’s a closer look at cellulite, including the powerful difference Cellfina can make.
About 80-90% of women and 10% of men develop cellulite at some point. It forms when fat cells accumulate below your skin’s surface, pushing up against connective tissues. This push creates cottage cheese-like lumps and craters in your skin.
While cellulite can form anywhere on your body, the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs are especially common. Cellulite isn’t risky from a health standpoint, but it can fuel feelings of self-consciousness.
Healthy lifestyle changes, like eating a more nutritious diet and shifting from sedentary to active, may reduce cellulite to a point. Medical treatments include acoustic wave therapy, liposuction, and Cellfina.
Certain anti-cellulite topical creams and deep massages may make cellulite temporarily less obvious, but they don’t remove it.
Cellfina treats cellulite very differently from treatments such as liposuction, which involves surgery and the suctioning out of fat. You only need one Cellfina treatment, versus applying a cream daily for minimal results. Acoustic wave therapy usually requires 5-6 sessions.
During your Cellfina procedure, we use a small, needle-like device to break the bands of connective tissue that pull your skin down. In other words, Cellfina directly addresses the structural cause of cellulite.
We perform the Cellfina treatment in our office in less than an hour, so you don’t have to worry about a hospital stay or lengthy downtime for recovery. In fact, you can get right back to your usual activities afterward.
Within a few days of your Cellfina treatment, you should notice smoother skin in the treatment area. From there, Cellfina results continue to unfold for about three months. You can expect your results to last for at least three years, which makes Cellfina the longest lasting FDA-approved cellulite treatment.
To make the most of your results, maintain lifestyle habits that keep your weight within a healthy range. In addition to healthy eating and exercise habits, aim to get sufficient sleep most nights and prioritize stress management.
